The trailer for Summit Entertainment’s The Impossible is now online, courtesy of iTunes Movie Trailers. Check it out in the player below.

Based on the true story of one family’s survival of the 2004 tsunami, the film stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor and is directed by J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage).

In the movie, Maria (Watts), Henry (McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.

The Impossible is the powerful and unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, The Impossible is a journey to the core of the human heart.
